The University of Sheffield has been officially accredited by the Association of MBA's (AMBA). A stringent accreditation process has resulted in the Management School joining a list of 128 distinguished business schools in 64 countries that have been similarly accredited for its postgraduate management education programme.

"I am delighted that the Management School has obtained accreditation from the Association of MBA's. This is an international benchmark that validates the global standard of our MBA programme and represents an important step in the building of a world-class management school at the University of Sheffield."

Professor Keith Glaister, Dean of the Management School, University of Sheffield

Higher education in Britain has distinguishing levels of qualification. A degree is either a BA or BSc (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science) according to the subject studied. A degree in history for instance would result in a BA, while a degree in computing has a BSc label. The next level is a "Masters" - MA or MSc (for the same reasons), but with the additional opportunity of MBA (Master of Business Administration).
